Variations in windshield/frame size?

My windshield STICKS out at the upper corners. Nicely bedded everywhere else. When i put the conv. top up and crank it down , the w/s frame pulled rite OVER THE TOP edge of the glass.
No it didnt crack the glass, must be super stuff!
Seems my options are to try rebending the the frame curves at the corners, or cut a half inch outa the middle and TIG back together(IMHO much easier!).
ANYONE had this prob?

thx DT

Ok I read this nine times and still don't get it. You are saying the windshield frame goes over the glass? Yes....it does with a rubber gasket. Or are you saying the convertible top BOW, goes too much over the glass? If that's the case you may have the wrong type BOW on your top. Different makers have different shapes so not all fit one. I think in order to try and decipher what you mean a picture may be worth 1000 words here.

Dave are you saying that the upper center of the frame pulled up and away from the glass? Yeah pics of this would be interesting. Alan

I knew this would be tricky to describe w/o photos. Too scary to replicate as the top corners of the W/S endure the stress of the top bow headers force. I got this top pulled TIGHT!!!
Try this.
The W/S is too small, or the W/S top frame is too large.
Aww, I'll make a diagram. Gimme a few hrs.
thx DT

Can you reduce the height slightly by cutting off the bottom of the frame where it meets the aluminum base piece and retap for the post screws ?

BTW I'll remeasure the Nardi and pm to you

Thanx Alan. Doesnt solve the prob. would still need to rebend the the frame curves at the corners. Cutting a half inch outa the middle and TIG back together(IMHO much easier!).
Does the pic help explain?

If whent ethe top is attached and it pull thr framne rearward, seems that the WS frame may be too tall and the posts mounted too wide due to the base molding also being too wide?..... just guessing.

Possible you do not have a proper frame and maybe a home made one. Have you considered ordering a new top frame and rubber gasket? VS has them and they are not expensive. At least that would be closer to what you need, UNLESS the glass was home made, in which case you would need a new windshield. I think we need to get some measurements. I am away from FERN (my car) today. Can someone post measurement of the glass?
